Installing latest version of a program (and its dependencies) on Stable build

[artemeciagreen]

I recently switched to the stable build of Funtoo, as I didn't want to bother fixing all the issues I was having with the current build. I'm glad to say all of my previous problems have disappeared, however some applications such as qbittorrent and youtube_dl aren't working without their latest versions, so I want to install the latest versions of these packages on the stable Funtoo build. I tried installing the packages from source, which was somewhat successful with youtube_dl, but not qbittorrent, because several of its dependencies where not satisfied, and I don't want to install every package manually from source every time it's updated.

Sync and update the system and eix database.
Check eix for latest current version of qbittorrent.
